Bernhard Langer | First and Last | The Open Championship

From fresh-faced debutant to seasoned veteran, Bernhard Langer had quite the Open Championship story.
He made his Open debut in 1976 as an 18-year-old before twice finishing as runner-up, to Bill Rogers at Royal St George’s in 1981 and Seve Ballesteros at St Andrews three years later. Langer has also finished third at The Open four times, including on further visits to Sandwich in 1986 and 1993.
The four-time Senior Open Champion made 31 appearances at The Open between 1967 and 2018. Though he never lifted the Claret Jug, Langer will be remembered as a great of The Open.
This is the First and Last of Bernhard Langer.

What is your favourite Bernhard Langer moment?

[@michaelscore6763]

Langer is a real idol! One of the best ever who played this game. One open title he would have deserved, good that he did it as a senior.

[@555Trout]

121 pro victories. First 1980, last a couple weeks ago to tie all time Champions tour at 45. Won on every continent pro golf played. Won his national open 11 times! At one point the all time leading money winner in golf. Truly a legend.

What a golfer… but more importantly, what an extraordinary man!

[@sduke39]

He had a lot of pop on his putts when he was young. What a career he's had.

This might not be his last open if he wins another senior british open
